Definitions

  • the invention relates to a joint to form a Swivel connection between two components, in particular between the upper and lower part of a foldable post Transport container, with an elongated base part, the one Connection section for rigid attachment to one of the Components and a head section with a free end has, and further with a pivot member having a connecting portion for rigid attachment to the other component, a support surface to rest on the free end of the Head portion of the base part and a swivel arm, the in a locked end position in the longitudinal direction is fully insertable into the base part and in the base part pivotable about a bearing pin fixed in this is mounted, the swivel part for unlocking by a predetermined extension distance from the base part is extractable and in the peripheral surface of the base part one from its free end towards its connecting section extending preferably wedge-shaped slot is formed through which the swivel arm can be guided is.
  • Transport containers with such joints are, for example used in the automotive industry to make vehicle parts or pre-assembled modules (e.g. complete gearbox) between to transport different plants.
